Bite is on @ Atchafalya River

Had a 37 and a 15 lber. Guy camped by us, who's fished there for many years, had several fish that were over 30 lbs.

 

Pics?

 

The bite is on here..............

Down at the camp in Belle River, got an invite to go fishing with friends Wed. Water falling, time to wet a line

 

Have a pic of the 37 pounder but not the 15. I'm holding it though. Shoot me a text and I'll text it back.
Guy camping near us, who has had a camp there over 20 years, caught 6 over 30 lbs. Fished the Red River though.

 

Yes, falling is time. I grew up fishing bayou Nezpique. You have to fish a bayou on the rise. That's how I remember the river but this last weekend I didn't even look.

 

Caught a nice mess of Catfish and hooked into a nice Garfish.

 

We used to catch some 150 lb plus gar in whitelake, in trammel nets, when I was in HS. Love that bar-b-qued.

 

I never had gar that tasted worth a shit. My grammaw was a great cook but when she made gar balls I slipped them to the dog.

 

I've never had gar ball. We'd skin them out, chill, then slice steaks on a Butcher Boy saw. Throw steaks on pit. I know most people make gar balls and have never q'd it but trust me.
